Ventas restructured its risk disclosures by retiring five risks related to geographic concentration, activist investors, capital markets conditions, internal controls, and pandemic assistance programs, while introducing five new risks focused on international operations, artificial intelligence, credit ratings, stock price volatility, and shareholder dilution. The 12 substantively modified risks indicate increased emphasis on operational control limitations and interest rate exposure management. Overall, the changes reflect a shift from pandemic-era and market-structural concerns toward emerging technology risks and capital market dynamics.
